Abstract 1D grain boundaries in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are ideal for
investigating the collective electron behavior in confined systems. However, clear …

Spin currents are key to spin torque devices, but determining the proper spin current is
nontrivial. Here we derive a general quantum-mechanical formula for the intrinsic proper …

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) can host exotic phenomena such as
correlated insulating and charge‐density‐wave (CDW) phases. Such properties are strongly …

Fractionalization without time-reversal symmetry breaking is a long-sought-after goal in the
study of correlated phenomena. The earlier proposal of correlated insulating states at n±1/3 …

Ullmann-like on-surface synthesis is one of the most appropriate approaches for the bottom-
up fabrication of covalent organic nanostructures and many successes have been achieved …

This work is an analytic theoretical study of a two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor with a
Fermi surface that is split by the Zeeman coupling of electron spins to an external magnetic …
